Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I am writing a letter to potential donors to inspire them to donate money to purchase Marley flooring and yoga blocks for my dance classes.

The Marley flooring is a professional type of flooring that protects dancers against injuries and increases their potential of improving their overall technique and building strength.

Additionally, it allows dancers to practice their turns and leaps without needing multiple pairs of dance shoes because the non-slip flooring is suitable for all types of dance techniques.

With the yoga blocks, they contribute to helping students build personal strength in warm-ups and stretches by providing students of all learning levels the opportunity to improve personal alignment with less strain on the body.
